Cranwell Names New Senior Management

- September 15, 2008

Lenox - Cranwell Resort has announced that Lewis Kiesler has been named President of Cranwell Management Company and John Dithmer assumed the position of General Manager of the resort effective September 1, 2008.

Dithmer has over 33 years of Four Diamond hotel management experience. He graduated from the University of Denver with a Business Degree in Hotel Administration and has received the Certified Hotel Administrator designation from the American Hotel and Lodging Association. Most recently he was Vice President of Lodging for the Killington Resort in Vermont. He was also General Manager of the Summit Hotel, Dallas, Texas and the Pink Beach Resort and Spa, Fort Meyers, Florida. For many years he was Vice President of Operations for Richfield Hospitality Services.

As President of the resort, Lewis Kiesler will manage various resort projects toward enhancing the property’s asset value and will be a liaison with the resort ownership. The resort has experienced substantial growth in the almost nine years since Kiesler joined Cranwell. During his tenure, he oversaw the resort expansion including the addition of the award-winning Spa at Cranwell, the renovation of Sloane’s Tavern, and room refurbishment and upgrades.  Under his direction, Cranwell has been awarded the coveted American Automobile Association’s Four Diamond rating for seven consecutive years. 

“John’s broad set of leadership skills, business acumen and operating principles will be an excellent fit to maximize the opportunities for Cranwell”, stated Mr. Kiesler in welcoming Mr. Dithmer to the organization. “We are confident in his abilities to expertly lead the next phase of the company’s growth.”
